A good game
A pretty good game, really fun, lots oof cool clases. It has a good plot as well, nothing life changing but very well thought out. the downside is that the game gets really repetitive. after the 500th "go kill 10 of enemy x" quest, its frustrating. also, traving through three zones full of enimes to get to one quest area is annoying. worth 2o bucks though/

Not too shabby if i say so myself
Pros: great assorment of weapons/armor, lots of demons to destroy, lots of quests (although most of the side ones just want you to either kill a certain demon or active some sort of device or collect demon parts)
Cons: not as wide a variety of demons as i had hoped, there are only a couple variations of areas between stations
Worth it to buy though as customization is limitless and who doesn't love mass slaughter of demons?

Great game
A really fun game 2 play. Great story line. Pretty simple 2 get around. Online play is somewhat of a pain in the arse though

Hell isn't very exciting.
I played the game completely through, and in the end, decided online play was worth a shot. Being an Engineer had many perks, many interesting flying drones to do half the work for me as I mercilessly slew thousands of demons, reminiscent of the good old Diablo 2 days.
Something told me I would get more out of the game by logging in to the online server. But for some odd reason, the Hellgate London website would not run from any of my consoles.
Hellgate London has no customer support or online play. That is, unless you're a citizen of South Korea. So, if you love Hellgate London any more than I do, move to South Korea and apply for a citizenship.
Do not buy this game. Sellers won't dare mention to game has no online support, all for good reason. They want money.

Fun, somewhat flawed, well done, but worth it in the long run
I was one of the early Hellgate buyers who was massively frustrated because it wouldn't install, wouldn't start, or just crash. Bugs, goodness, lots o' bugs in the beginning. But the developers got them all fixed, and then some. I actually went back to it one day, fired up the launcher, and lo and behold, a single player update came down, and then it just started, and I never looked back.
Played through twice so far, and I must say, its really really fun stuff. There are LOTS of great characters with great humor, tons and tons of funky monsters and enemies, and lots of battles. There is very little in the way of getting stuck, and stumped, which I liked quite a bit. There were just a couple of situation where you had to think hard, or get some help from a forum, but in general, it was great and logical gameplay.
The single player campaign was LONG indeed. I must have been hacking at it for several months here and there. Many many hours of fun and monster killing.
This game does have a VERY steep learning curve. It takes a long long time to figure out what all the gadgets, weapons, enhancements, characters, and machines do. The directions simply suck, no 2 ways about it. You MUST rely on forums and other players to figure out half the functions in the game.
But its worth it for sure. While Hellgate is not exactly the most intellectually challenging game ever, its great fun, and a great release. I can see having a game of Hellgate running at all times for years. It reminds me of Painkiller in many ways, although its much more complex than PK. But I had a Painkiller session going for several years, and whenever I was in between games, or just bored, I started it up and killed some demons.
Hellgate is in that vein. Fun, bombastic, challenging, sometimes mindless, interesting, only mildly repetitive, and very very deep.
